Our Services

Lawyer Referral Service
The Lawyer Referral Service is available to individuals who require assistance in obtaining a lawyer. Lawyers who wish to be enrolled in our database register annually and state the areas of law in which they prefer to practice. The people who contact our service are offered the name of one lawyer who practices in a particular area. The individuals can then contact the lawyer to arrange a half-hour session at a nominal charge.

Legal Information Line
The Legal Information Line provides general information about the law.  Legal advice is not provided.  PLIAN maintains monthly statistics on the type and quantity of inquiries in the different areas of law. The data enable us to assess the legal areas that need to be addressed in our information sessions and publications.

School Visits
Visits to local schools enable PLIAN to disseminate information, to encourage students to learn about the law, and to increase awareness of our resources. We have formed partnerships with different high schools and participated in the Canadian Law Course, Co-op Law Programs and Career Days. We also offer a placement for a Political Science student from Memorial University of Newfoundland.

Community Information Sessions
Through these sessions, PLIAN is able to provide the public with information on particular legal issues. Topics of interest include the criminal justice system, federal Child Support Guidelines, youth justice issues, wills and estates, and other legal issues.

Publications
PLIAN regularly produces publications on many areas of the law. PLIAN distributes copies of its publications throughout Newfoundland and Labrador and the rest of Canada.  Some of our publications are translated into French, Innu-Aimun, Inuktitut, and Mi'kmaw.
